Apple today released the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update via its Software Update utility and on the Web. According to the company, the 10.4.8 Update is recommended for all users and includes general operating system fixes, as well as specific fixes for the following applications and technologies:

My Intel update was 211MB. I verified and repaired the permissions after it was done and everything appears running smoothly.

I'll never understand why it is that the MBs always differ from person to person. I mean same machine, probably the same specs as well and yet it has a different about that it updates in terms of MBs...

I just find it strange..._________________"For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see;

Still, I would like to have Leopard already... I saw it on a MacMini Core Duo the other week. My friend has an ADC membership and has 4 macs... Now, on the mini, TimeTravel was really suffering... I mean it was horrible...

I know it is a preview and all, but this was just not very good to look at... Didn't notice anything else except the spaces which I liked but then we all saw those things in action. On his Mac Pro the TimeTravel app worked like a charm but on the mini... not so good... so I am a bit worried..._________________"For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see;

How much RAM and what kind of external drive was he using? It is BETA but there are a lot of factors that will impact Time Machine._________________| Mac mini 2011 | Apple Thunderbolt Display | Apple keyboard and Magic TrackPad | 2Tb Time Capsule | Apple TV (3) | iPhone 4s |

Not another person who believes this actually makes any difference....

While I tend to agree this is technical voodoo, it really isn't worth pointing out as some people are very comfortable with the idea that it helps... _________________| Mac mini 2011 | Apple Thunderbolt Display | Apple keyboard and Magic TrackPad | 2Tb Time Capsule | Apple TV (3) | iPhone 4s |

He had 1GB of ram in it and was using a LaCie pocket Drive that was a 5400rpm firewire connection. He said that at first he had problems installing it on his external HD till he read in the notes he got with the DVD, that it has to be reformatted in order to be compatible with Leopard. In other words, it had to be an INTEL bootable drive. Which it wasn't, and while it worked fine on his other macs and intel macs as well, it seems that you cannot install the Intel OS (present and future versions) on a normal HFS HD. It has to be something else he mentioned, but I cannot remember the name of the format.

Still it ran well on the Mac Pro and not on the Mini... Yet he did the install on the Mini and moved it over to the mac Pro...

A bit confusing... And all in all, I have to say that it will be in late march or April of next year before we see the final release...

He was told by Apple, that it is only half of the OS that will be released next year. They apparently have more features that they feel comfortable with not having to test in the beta release. And they don't want others to start making apps based on those new ideas. Or so they say..._________________"For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see;
